I've been trying to find the reference of what I've been reading, but I
haven't found it yet. From what I remember, it was something about chinese
count like eight-nine-ten-tenone-tentwo etc, instead of the illogical
eleven-twelve etc. So that could be the cause why chinese children grasp
the base-10 position system earlier. Unfortunately I have no reference to
this research at the moment. But maybe this could be a start?:

"Other experiments have demonstrated differences in how Westerners and East
Asians think about objects (Iwao & Gentner, 1997), numbers (Lucy & Gaskins,
1997), and space (Levinson, 1996) and how processing numbers when doing
arithmetic problems is related to language differences between
Chinese-speaking and English-speaking participants (Tang et al., 2006)"
